Chapter 106 Asleep
Chapter 106 Asleep
"Yes, yes." Qin didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly pulled out his phone from his pocket, quickly flipped through the photo album, and finally found the photo of Wang Mengyun. He handed it to Lin Yue and introduced her, "She is the oldest among the younger generation of the Wang family."
Lin Yue took the phone, and her brows furrowed the moment her eyes fell on the screen. "So it's her," Lin Yue murmured, the image of the woman she had seen in the arcade flashing through her mind. No wonder she looked familiar.
Thinking about this, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, once a woman gets jealous, she'll use any means necessary.
"Believe it or not, Wang Mengyun from the Wang family is also Ye Chen's woman," Lin Yue said.
"What?" Qin was taken aback at first, then fell into deep thought. After a moment, she seemed to have figured out the key point, and a look of sudden realization flashed in her eyes.
So that's how it is. If Wang Mengyun already knew Lin Yue's identity as a Kamen Rider, then she deliberately stirred up this conflict, making Lin Yue and the other women hate each other, so that she could reap the benefits in the end. What a wicked scheme!
"That vicious woman!" Hatred flashed in Qin's eyes. Once he thought about it, everything made sense.
"Also, you have to help me dispel the rumors," Lin Yue said. "As a reward, I'll tell you something: she went to a shopping mall in City C with Ye Chen during the summer vacation. You should know what to do, right?"
Qin was quick-witted and soon understood: "I understand, I'll help you dispel the rumors."
"There's one more thing," Lin Yue said. "What is it, sir?"
"Take me back to the haunted house."
...
Lin Yue quickly returned to the haunted house the way she came. Although it took a little time, she decided to walk from the haunted house to the exit along the normal route.
Because of what happened, no NPCs came out to scare her along the way, except for the darkness.
She reached the exit, but didn't see Tang Wenwen and the other two. "Hello, have you seen my friends?" Lin Yue politely asked the receptionist.
The people standing at the front desk were just a few college students who had come for internships; they were completely unaware of what had happened inside the secret room. Nevertheless, they were quite certain that they hadn't seen anyone else come out of there.
The college student, with a clear, slightly bewildered and innocent expression, smiled politely and said, "They haven't come out yet; you're the first one!"
Just then, Lu Chen slowly pushed open the tightly closed exit door and stepped out. When he saw Lin Yue, a barely perceptible look of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Oh dear, what a pity. I was so happy to think I would be the first person to successfully escape the secret room."
It has to be said that Lu Chen thoroughly enjoyed his escape room adventure. The route he chose was relatively simple; there were no creepy, elusive NPCs to cause trouble or scare him, and the task was simply to find three key keys and successfully open the door to the exit. Therefore, the whole process was a piece of cake for him, and he completed the challenge with ease.
Not long after, Tang Wenwen emerged from the secret chamber. She patted her chest gently, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart, while panting heavily and complaining, "Oh dear, I'm exhausted!" It turned out that the route Tang Wenwen had taken was a complex maze, with NPCs occasionally appearing to scare her. She had wandered around for quite some time before finally finding the exit. Due to the long walk, her legs were now incredibly sore.
Hearing Tang Wenwen's complaints, Lu Chen immediately showed great enthusiasm and invited her, "Sister Wen, if you don't mind, let me give you a good leg massage to relieve your fatigue." Without hesitation, Tang Wenwen readily agreed, "Okay, okay, thank you so much!" With that, she plopped down without hesitation and placed her two long, beautiful legs directly on Lu Chen's thighs. Their intimate interaction looked just like that of a young couple.
"Next up is Li Yuetian," Lu Chen said while giving a massage.
After a while, Lin Yue couldn't wait any longer; it had been half an hour.
Filled with doubt, she approached the group of college student receptionists and politely inquired about their services. Upon hearing her question, the students quickly picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number. However, after a brief exchange on the other end of the line, their previously serious expressions suddenly became strange, their lips curving upwards as if they were barely suppressing a laugh.
Immediately afterward, the college students hurriedly entered the haunted house. A short while later, one of the students ran up to the three of them, looking apologetic, and said, "I'm so sorry, it was a mistake by our staff that caused you inconvenience. We will bring your friend out immediately, please wait a moment!" Hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with doubt and confusion.
Before long, the college student took the initiative to explain the whole story. It turned out that the haunted house area where Li Yuetian was located was set up as a tense and exciting chase game mode. According to the rules, every time an NPC successfully caught Li Yuetian, he would be locked in a pitch-black room for a full ten minutes! But who would have thought that the NPC responsible for capturing Li Yuetian was actually one of the men who had previously captured Lin Yue?
Li Yuetian was useless; he was arrested the moment he entered. Shortly after successfully apprehending Li Yuetian, he suddenly received a call to arrest Lin Yue, and then hurriedly left the scene. He never returned! Poor Li Yuetian was thus kept locked in the small dark room for over an hour, completely baffled! Even more ridiculously, perhaps due to boredom and exhaustion from waiting, Li Yuetian actually fell fast asleep inside…
As for the college students, they naturally had no idea where the NPC staff member had gone; they simply assumed he might have some urgent business to attend to.
After a while, the college students finally escorted Li Yuetian, who looked tired and kept yawning, out. As Li Yuetian walked, he kept rubbing his eyes, which seemed unable to open. He was clearly having difficulty adjusting to the sudden change in light from the darkness.
Lin Yue and the other two stood aside, pointing at Li Yuetian with great interest, before bursting into loud and unrestrained laughter. "Hahahaha, what a pitiful kid!"
"He can even fall asleep in a haunted house. I bet Li Yuetian will never be afraid of ghosts again!"
They laughed so hard they were doubled over. The college students at the haunted house kept bowing and apologizing to Li Yuetian, offering to refund him the full amount he had paid. These naive and foolish college students had absolutely no idea that Lin Yue had been kidnapped.
After a period of adjustment, Li Yuetian finally came to his senses. Recalling everything that had happened throughout the day, he felt incredibly ashamed; he had truly lost face today!
Time flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, the four of them had finished their meal. Tang Wenwen was thinking about returning to City C tonight.
At this moment, Lin Yue warmly extended an invitation: "Go back tomorrow, and stay at my place tonight!" Lin Yue's brother, Lin Mu, rarely came home, and his room happened to be empty. She could sleep in her brother's room, and Tang Wenwen could sleep in hers.
Faced with Lin Yue's sincere invitation, Tang Wenwen found it difficult to refuse and finally nodded in agreement. Afterwards, the two bid farewell to Lu Chen and Li Yuetian.
After they separated, Tang Wenwen had a sly smile on her face and stared straight at Lin Yue, saying, "Yueyue, aren't you afraid that I'll sneak into your bed in the middle of the night like Lord Yun did and bully you?"
Hearing this, Lin Yue stomped her feet in anger and said coquettishly, "Sister Wen... why have you become so fond of joking around?" She couldn't help but secretly lament, what's wrong with these older sisters these days?
When Yun Xiling was dating her brother, she was quite "perverted," often teasing him until he blushed. Yun Xiling knew all about it. So, it was understandable that her brother bullied her like this. She never expected that even her sister Wen would follow suit and become so bad.
At this moment, Lin Yue even regretted telling Tang Wenwen about her relationship with Sister Yun Xiling.
